ESPN's "Final" Four CFB playoff teams show (1 Viewer)

[beerbarron]

How does ESPN announce the 4 teams that have made the playoffs? Do they announce the #1 seed then go through 2, 3 and the last seed or do they announce the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and the number one seed last.

This topic was brought up with some of my football fools that I talk with often and we had about a 50/50 split so I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion or found it interesting...

So How does ESPN announce the first four to make the playoffs in their show this year?

1,2,3,4 or 4,3,2,1?

1-4

whatever keeps people watching the longest..

Which would make the #4 team last, with about 37 commercials before being revealed.

 

[Parrothead]

I'm guessing they will have 6 or 7 helmets on the set and 4 playoff spots to put them.. like the old stools on American Idol

1-4

Yep.. 1-4 will keep the most people watching as most will already know who 1-3 will be.. it is #4 that is going to grab the most attention.

Maybe they could play musical chairs for the 4 spots?

Don't forget the cuts to school gyms full of kids holding hands and waiting to see if they got in or not, and we need to go inside Nick Saban's living room to see how his family's living and what he thinks about getting in.

I actually think they'll just go 1, 2, 3, 4, then spend the rest of the broadcast rhapsodizing the SEC, even if no SEC teams make it in.

Maybe they could play musical chairs for the 4 spots?

Or have Lou Holtz walk around the helmets and the last 4 not to get slobber on them make the cut.

Well, they have 15 effective minutes, since NFL kickoff is at 1PM.

or have Lee Corso put on the final mascot head

The 'regular season' shows have been 25 - 7, then they show all of the top 6 in alpha order. After that they do 1-4 and those that missed the cut.

They will probably do something like this on Sunday.

I think in order to get the most viewers they should have a royal rumble with the mascots of teams 4-10, winner gets the 4 slot.
